Sunnyvale 2009 cold case rape suspect arrested
A man was arrested as the suspect in a 2009 rape cold case in Sunnyvale, police announced Thursday.
The Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety said in a press release Thursday that a renewed investigation of the unsolved kidnapping and rape case identified 59-year-old Davis Bryan Vest as the suspect.
The new evidence was presented to the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office and a warrant was issued for West's arrest. On Wednesday, DPS detectives arrested Vest and he was booked on charges of kidnapping to commit a sexual offense and rape.
In addition to the 2009 case, DPS said Vest was also arrested as a suspect in a separate 2007 rape case. He has previously been arrested for various violations, including domestic violence, robbery, burglary, and narcotics offenses.
The department asked anyone with information about the case or any other cases to contact Detective Hutchison at 408-730-7110.
